Very clear signs of Pareto distribution. Each ranked member near the top produces almost as much output as the rest of the tail combined.

Yea, and I expect that trend to continue. It's a little forced right now since I've been populating it with some of the biggest names I can think of in the dev world so that there's a bit of a target for aspiration as well as some content on the site.

I imagine that the majority of users that would find this beneficial are between the 1-5 YOE so at least it'll become a pareto within that range eventually.
